A NOTE ABOUT AUTHOR RIGHTS:

We're big fans of author rights. When you publish with Bread & Beauty, you agree to three things:
  1. You grant us first serial rights. Once your piece is published, rights revert back to you.
  2. Your work will remain on our website permanently.
  3. You grant us non-exclusive re-print rights. (We don't abuse this privilege. We may just use short excerpts of your work in promotional materials.)
After your work appears in Bread & Beauty, you're free to republish it or give others permission to republish it. All we ask is that you credit it as first appearing in Bread & Beauty.
